Hey folks,

Top 10 things worth sharing this week

1. UXtools.co shared the state of UX tools in 2023 in their survey results.
   
   

2. UXdesign.cc shared the state of UX in 2024. “Much like late-stage capitalism, late-stage UX is characterized by its market saturation, heavy focus on financial growth, commoditization, automation, and increased financialization.” Do you agree?
   
   

3. I’m fascinated by this 3D animated visualization of an LLM.
   
   

4. Reset how you operate in 2024 with Managing Your Anxiety and The Anxious Achiever.
   
   

5. Looking for insights into how to code images in HTML with SVG? Try this festive 25 days of Christmas microsite.
   
   

6. Explore speculation about what led to the UX layoffs (and what lies ahead). Then dive into why designers quit and the balancing act of achieving success without burning out.
   
   

7. Balance users’ attention and intention by using brain science to create clearer intentional UX.  Easier said than done.
   
   

8. Vitaly Friedman shared alternative approaches that skip the design hand-off, namely Shamsi Brinn’s no-handoff method by Shamsi Brinn and the hot potato process by Dan Mall and Brad Frost.
   
   

9. Have you looked into how the ShapeUp method? It claims to help teams prioritize product features through problems to solve via lean roadmapping and eliminates backlogs.
